Abstract :
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of SAQ training verses sprint interval training on dribbling ability of men basketball players. To achieve the purpose of the study, forty five male inter-collegiate level basketball players from various colleges affiliated to Achariya Nagarjuna University, Andrapradesh, India were selected as subjects. Their age ranged from 18 years to 23 years. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group-I underwent SAQ training, group-II underwent sprint interval training and group-III acted as control. The research design of the study was pre and post test random group design. In order to nullify the initial mean differences the data collected from the three groups prior to and post experimentation on agility was statistically analyzed to find out the significant difference if any, by applying the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Since, three groups are involved, whenever the obtained ‘F’ ratio value in the adjusted post test mean is found to be significant, the Scheffe’s test is applied as post hoc test to determine the paired mean differences, if any. The result of the study reveals that due to the effect of SAQ training and sprint interval training the dribbling ability of the subjects was significantly improved. It was also concluded that SAQ training is significantly better than sprint interval training in improving dribbling ability of men basketball players.
